Evolution of shell structure in exotic nuclei

T Otsuka, A Gade, O Sorlin, T Suzuki, Y Utsuno - Reviews of modern physics, 2020 - APS
The atomic nucleus is a quantum many-body system whose constituent nucleons (protons
and neutrons) are subject to complex nucleon-nucleon interactions that include spin-and …

Recent experimental progress in nuclear halo structure studies

I Tanihata, H Savajols, R Kanungo - Progress in Particle and Nuclear …, 2013 - Elsevier
Recent developments (since the last review in J. of Physics G by I. Tanihata in 1996 [1]) at
RIB facilities opened possibilities of detailed studies of halo nuclei. New facilities have been …

New “USD” Hamiltonians for the shell

BA Brown, WA Richter - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2006 - APS
We derive new Hamiltonians for the sd shell, USDA and USDB, based on a renormalized G
matrix with linear combinations of two-body matrix elements adjusted to fit a complete set of …

Nuclear magic numbers: New features far from stability

O Sorlin, MG Porquet - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2008 - Elsevier
The main purpose of the present manuscript is to review the structural evolution along the
isotonic and isotopic chains around the “traditional” magic numbers 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and …

Structure of even-even nuclei using a mapped collective Hamiltonian and the D1S Gogny interaction

JP Delaroche, M Girod, J Libert, H Goutte, S Hilaire… - Physical Review C …, 2010 - APS
A systematic study of low energy nuclear structure at normal deformation is carried out using
the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory extended by the generator coordinate method and …

Three-body forces and the limit of oxygen isotopes

T Otsuka, T Suzuki, JD Holt, A Schwenk, Y Akaishi - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
The limit of neutron-rich nuclei, the neutron drip line, evolves regularly from light to medium-
mass nuclei except for a striking anomaly in the oxygen isotopes. This anomaly is not …

Exotic modes of excitation in atomic nuclei far from stability

N Paar, D Vretenar, E Khan… - Reports on Progress in …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We review recent studies of the evolution of collective excitations in atomic nuclei far from
the valley of β-stability. Collective degrees of freedom govern essential aspects of nuclear …

Nuclear forces and their impact on neutron-rich nuclei and neutron-rich matter

K Hebeler, JD Holt, J Menéndez… - Annual Review of …, 2015 - annualreviews.org
We review the impact of nuclear forces on matter at neutron-rich extremes. Recent results
have shown that neutron-rich nuclei become increasingly sensitive to three-nucleon forces …

Nonperturbative shell-model interactions from the in-medium similarity renormalization group

SK Bogner, H Hergert, JD Holt, A Schwenk, S Binder… - Physical review …, 2014 - APS
We present the first ab initio construction of valence-space Hamiltonians for medium-mass
nuclei based on chiral two-and three-nucleon interactions using the in-medium similarity …

Ab Initio Coupled-Cluster Effective Interactions for the Shell Model: Application to Neutron-Rich Oxygen and Carbon Isotopes

GR Jansen, J Engel, G Hagen, P Navratil… - Physical Review Letters, 2014 - APS
We derive and compute effective valence-space shell-model interactions from ab initio
coupled-cluster theory and apply them to open-shell and neutron-rich oxygen and carbon …
